LETTER: Kingston Kiwanis Club reaches out to seniors

Once again the Kiwanis Club reached out to senior citizens of the Kingston area. It was like old home week at the Coleman Catholic High School.

When I arrived, many stated with joy, "Hello, good to see you." I was glad to see so many of my friends from long ago. The older we get, the harder it is to get out and visit.

I do try to visit a few of the older ones, like my friend Lady K., 106, and Mary C., in her mid-90s. It gets very lonely when you have outlived your friends, or just don't get out very often.

Kiwaniians not only served a wonderful turkey dinner, but gave us an opportunity to make new friends. It was so good to share the meal and musical program. It is always delightful to sit and listen to the young voices.

The meal ended with the calling of numbers from tickets handed to each person. Many went home with a poinsettia, and others with a fruit basket.

It was like old home week. A big thank you to all the Kiwanians for their thoughtfulness and generosity.
